Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Best current account

Great app, quickest customer service, bank for 21st century, no fee Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Best bank i have ever used 24/7 service.

It gives me more control over my card like where it can be used. My personal fav is the quick card lock. The only thing that is missing is a time based transaction log and a web based interface. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Great Challenger Bank

Starling has impressed me with their excellent customer services and interesting integrations such a Flux. The only thing missing is web banking, but hopefully that would appear eventually. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Very happy!

Switched my account to Starling Bank! Very happy with them. Instant notifications, fee free shopping abroad. Highly recommend! Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

The future of banking

Starling has been a breath of fresh air for me coming from a more traditional bank. Their app has never failed me and using it is always quick and straightforward. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

A bank as it should be

Using SB as my main bank account for the last year and I am extremely happy! Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Just works

Don’t regret the move from HSBC, enjoy having customer service now. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

An example of how banking should be done

Starling seem to be so cutting edge in what is a market where traditional high street banks are closing yet not investing in the technology. The time and effort they have put into developing a first class app is evident through the quality design and build, and great features. Instant payment notifications are so useful and being able to pay a nearby contact on Starling is very helpful. Customer service has always been quick and polite whether it’s over phone, messaging or live chat. Long live Starling Bank to put the traditional and stuffy high street banks to shame! Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Easy to use good rates

As above. It's simple to use and has lots of features. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Started off great, but went downhill.

Really started off well, but after almost 18 months with this bank I left. Customer service went down. They would promise new features that never materialize. They really startef acting like the traditional banks they're trying to challenge. Left my account open but can't see me going back. Their ethos just needs a refresh. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018
